Doreen T Bodsworth b 30 Jul 1913 London
« on: Sunday 16 July 17 11:35 BST (UK) »
The above was the daughter of Charles David and Daisy nee Stringer, she emigrated to NZ via Freemantle 3 Jul 1946 on ship Largs Bay, her parents emigrated 6 Nov 1948 to NZ and both passed over there in 1958 and 1971 and are buried at Invercargill, Eastern cemetery. I found them on the electoral rolls but can't find Doreen?  At 1939 she was an unemployed stage artist but by 1946 a teacher.
Help please.

Hi,
You may have details already but there is a piece in the Biggleswade Chronicle 23 Aug 1946 about Dorreen Bodsworth, a Biggleswade dance teacher who had left for New Zealand to marry Eric Gallagher a former soldier. It details how they met during the war . They were members of E N S A and her parents were mentioned.

Excellent research cath and everyone, can you find out when she married Eric and whether they had children?
